59 It Would Be Nice Not To Care

Considering the plan was Marcy's idea in the novel, her pessimism surprised me. I wasn't sure what to tell her.

Franz wouldn't want gossip to get out but Marcy had worked with him on this originally...what was I supposed to do? In my plans to get the plot back on track I had mentally separated defeating Sigmund and getting Marcy and Al together. I thought that as long as both of those things happened in the end it would all be okay somehow.

In this version of the story, the one where I existed, Marcy was friendly with Al and me but she did not know any of the other royalty. I trusted Marcy because she was supposed to be the main character but Franz didn't.

Then there was her reaction to contend with…Marcy seemed afraid of something. It hit me.
